I too would be powering down as long as the whales are powering down. This is the equivalent of Mark Z. selling his facebook shares a month after launching the platform... Regarding Hive account@blakemiles84 comment, I think the 104 week power down time actually DISCOURAGES people from holding steem power when it was intender to TRICK people into locking up their funds. Now the cat is out of the bag and people want access... I honestly think if SteemPower would be semi-liquid, meaning it would take a week or two to cash out then this would actually encourage people to hold steempower or invest in the platform because they feel they still have access to the funds. Having a big number written in your account on a website is nice but if you can't access the money in the near future what's the purpose ? Giving people access to the funds will give MORE CONFIDENCE in SteemPower :-)
